Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may be distancing himself from Project 2025. But Democrats keep connecting the former President to the conservative policy prescriptions.
The latest example is visible in Doral. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has bought five billboard placements, strategically located at key intersections on Hollywood Boulevard and Palmetto Expressway, that tell passers by the “terrifying and dystopian” plan is Trump’s “blueprint for revenge and retribution,” and supports his claim to be a “dictator on Day One.”
“Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda is the biggest threat to our American way of life we’ve faced in generations,” said Abhi Rahman, speaking for the DNC.
“Ahead of Donald Trump’s and MAGA Republicans’ convention next week to push an extreme, anti-choice and anti-democracy agenda, the DNC is taking the fight to Trump’s doorstep with a new fleet of billboards showing the true danger of Trump’s second-term playbook: Project 2025.”
Even before the presidential debate last month that raised questions about Joe Biden’s path forward for media and some Democrats, there was some doubt about whether Biden could compete in Florida. Campaign Manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said the state was not in play.
It remains to be seen whether these billboards will turn the tide, but Rahman asserts that “Florida voters will reject Trump’s agenda to rip away their rights and reelect President Biden in November.”
Trump has said this isn’t his plan.
“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump posted to Truth Social. “I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”
The conservative wish list and purported “presidential transition project” includes proposals to bring the Department of Justice and FBI under the purview of the President, to make it easier to fire federal workers, to eliminate the Department of Homeland Security, to cut climate change funding and public health funding, and other rollbacks of expansions of the scope of federal government over decades.
Despite disavowing Project 2025, Trump’s proposals align with it on certain matters, including phasing out a Cabinet department. He wants to “close the Department of Education in Washington, D.C. and send it back to the States, where it belongs, and let the States run our educational system as it should be run.”

The Democrats are habitual and pathological liars and they will stop at nothing to retain power as they evolve to full blown Communism.
How much of what they say is truthful? ZERO!

Yeah, its people like you who are gonna loose their minds when Trump takes office in 2025.
We were warned about crazy, hate filled people like you.
Right? Hate has no home here? Oh that’s right, only dems can use that slogan. HYPOCRITES ALL OF YOU….
You have lost the ability to reason. Better get a stuffed animal and fluffy pillow for your next FOUR YEARS…

Today’s Republicans ooze hate. They drip with hate. Generating hate is a basic metabolic function with today’s Republican.
Sick.

The architects of PROJECT 2025 are employed by Donald Trump. Steve Miller left the White House at the end of Trump’s presidency and REMAINED employed by Trump as an adviser. Miller leads PROJECT 2025 along with several Trump cabinet members. Trump is the leader of the GQP and he has full knowledge of this divisive white paper. Google it…..PROJECT 2025 is FAR MORE than a push for nationwide abortion.

TRUMP’s 2025 FASCISM Plan
Who else would use it?
My Take
July 9, 2024 at 12:31 pm
Who would Trump most resemble?
Franco, Pinochet, Stroesner, Papa Doc, Baby Doc?

Hope I live to see the vast memorial that will be built for Trump’s earthly remains — something on the lines of Franco’s original resting place, the Valley of the Fallen. (He was transferred to more appropriate resting place in 2019 since he was a disgrace to the memory of those who died on both side of Spain’s civil war in the 1930.)
My Take

I’ve seen a photo of the big valley memorial.
Tastelessly grandiose.
Kind of just what you would expect of the Falange.
My Take
July 9, 2024 at 1:19 pm
Not wanting to make this comparison fascist vs; communist, moreso taste, but compare with the memorial outside of Stalingrad.

Martin is absolutely correct. The Demo / zombie machine has been lying to the American people since King Joe and Queen
Jill took over. Suddenly the daily White House briefings are more animated now since the zombie media got caught protecting Joe. Now they pepper KJP with questions as they attempt to separate themselves from the coverup.

You need some new material. Seriously, step away from fox news. Talk about zombie nation.

Darc Seed Doesn’t even mention the coverup by the White House staff, the DNC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, etc. Darc Seed is fine with a President that has full blown dementia. Darc Seed is okay with the Southern Border debacle, inflation, fuel prices, defunding the police, and on and on.

Makes you wonder if watching MSNBC, etc., makes right-wingers alone rabid — like those new-fangled pathogens.

My Take

Trump’s Plan for FASCISM should decide this election.
Everything else pales.
